This is a week tomorrow!

Guess where we are!

Spent the morning in the fab Orkney Library #archives today... yes... thinking about #PlaceNames... here are a couple of rather nice spellings of two places that occur in #OrkneyingaSaga: Rapness and Orphir!

Left Hrólfsey for Þingavöll early this morning, before making our way to Kirkuvágr & thence to Hafnarvágr for the stretch across the Péttlandsfjörðr to Þórsá in Katanes. The last of the Ragna team have left the Orkneyjar... for now... #PlaceNames #OrkneyingaSaga #Orkney

It is finally out... 'Scapa…part two… the klif-hanger…' What do we make of the various manuscript forms of this #PlaceName?! Find out in our latest blog! blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/ragnasislands/…

Our latest blog looks at the #saga #PlaceName Paplay! Where was it, when was it, and what does it mean?! #Orkney #OrkneyingaSaga blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/ragnasislands/……h-the-place-name/
